New Hobbit Holes 12

 


This gap was to have had a back door built into it
but the Hobbit Hole was too small to lose all that living space.


I hacked off the end and put in these pieces.



Front and back of the plastered result
with scratch built chimneys and dormers affixed.

New Hobbit Holes 11

 


The problem I have with the chimney stacks
is lining up the horizontal rows of bricks.
This one I did by measuring and marking off in pencil before scribing.
Perhaps a lighter brown for the base paint?
I used Rhinox Hide and dry brushed Deathclaw.
I don't know what they are called this week.


After applying a third layer of 'plaster' I scraped round it with the comb.
They should line up.
A touch of sanding, when it's dry, should do it.

These are now wood based.
